Slightly less refined than the Cathiard and Potel tasted alongside, but far from eclipsed . Tannins more to the fore here really worked well with a sausage and lentil casserole, whereas the others shone more solo or with cheese. By Cote Nuits standards, good QPR.

Hard to pick a winner between this and. Potel Pruliers 2005 tasted alongside. ‘05 Potel just edged it for persistence of finish , but the Cathiard from 06 was itself beautifully fully balanced and long with smooth tannin and wonderfully aromas of damson and leather. Not quite a peak, so no rush

Surprised me - in a good way. Long, rich and still fruity with good balance of sweetness and acidity. Complex and satisfying mid to end palate. Better than expected from the vintage…but my only bottle! Would keep 5-10 still if you had more.
